The '89 season is called by many the best in Big Ten history. There has been ZERO such talk about the '79 season. UM's '89 squad had 7 future NBA players, the '93 squad had 4. Both of those teams could easily hang with the '79 MSU team. Just b/c they had Magic and Kelser and they beat Bird doesn't mean they'd kill those UM teams. And if you believe I'm an idiot for thinking a team with 7 NBA players could hang with the MSU Gods of Basketball, then I don't have to call you names, I'll just let your comments say it for me.

You can get technical all you want, SpartanMan82, but the fact is this: MSU has way more talent than UM, and you know it. Despite this, the game was close. What do you think will happen when the talent gap closes?

"2kings,
I read it on espn.com. Funny for him to minimize the importance of football AND contrast it to the importance of the economy when he makes 2.5 mil to coach football!"

First, espn.com took the quote completely out of context. Go read the entire statement, which can be found with minimal effort. Second, he's saying that FANS take football too seriously. He didn't say HE doesn't take it as seriously as things like the economy.

Face it, folks. He's 100% correct in saying some fans need to get a life. azwolverine isn't one of them...he just needs to get some perspective on this story.

First, thinking they have four warm-ups is what got them beat against a 1-AA team last year. Granted, App. State was better than most MAC schools, but still, it's freakin' 1-AA. Second, Notre Dame will be really improved. They could still be not very good, but that would be really improved, since they were absolutely scary-bad last year. Notre Dame will be ahead of Michigan in terms of polish at that point in the season. The question is if they will be talented enough to execute against Michigan's players.

Now all media sources, including the Detroit News, ESPN, and the Wolverine, are reporting that Miles is staying at LSU. Rece just came on ESPN saying they're awaiting the press conference.

Martin needs to go after Rich Rodriguez and Bob Stoops this week. I don't care what they've said publicly. It's Michigan; if you talk, they'll listen. That doesn't mean they'll take it, but they'd be stupid to say, "I don't want to talk to you."
